'S' ZZM'ITm W "1 SOCIALISM FINDS FOE IN CLERGYiH Materialistic Theories and Sacriligious Utterances Arouse Priest's Ire. WEALTHY HELD CULPABLE Religions Basis Is Declared to Be Negation of IHTlne Providence, Ethical Standard" Denial of Moral Responsibility. Discussing- the attitude of the Cath olic Church towards socialism. Father O'Hara, in an interview yesterday, de nied that the Catholio Church is op posed to socialism because of the avowed purpose of the latter tQ im prove conditions and Its practice of criticising- existing Industrial condi tions. o the extent that socialism succeeds in throwing light on those conditions, it should be commended, not condemned, declared the clergyman. Opposition of the Catholic Church to socialism, explained Father O'Hara, is due to the fact that socialism as an international popular movement, is "rampantly irreligious," and for the further reasons tnat It has for its "philosophic basis pure materialism; for its religious basis the negation of Divine Providence, and for Its ethical basis the denial of moral responsibil ity;" and because "Socialists proclaim their disregard for the laws of the country." , Material Object Attract. Father O'Hara attributes the growth of socialism to the fact that both socialism and capitalism advocate the doctrine that material prosperity is the only object in life. Introduction of social Justice and Christian charity between employer and employe is pre scribed by Father O'Hara as the only remedy for either socialism or capital ism. "The Catholic Church haa no opposl . tlon to any movement which genuinely aims at ameliorating the condition of the working man," said Father O'Hara yesterday. "While her mission Is pri marily religious, looking to the salva tion of souls or rather because she is Interested In the welfare of souls she cannot be indifferent to economic and social conditions. Experience, as well aa reason, makes It clear that re ligious motives will have difficult ac cess where destitution and grinding poverty compel men to fight with hun ger and disease day and night. Like Christ himself, the church 'haa com passion on the multitude.' Indeed the Catholic Church is generally known as the church of the masses. Her clergy are brought in dally contact with every form of human misfortune in their visits to the poor of their parishes, and no one more keenly sympathizes with their needs. Good Seea la Socialism. The Catholic Church, therefore. Is not opposed to Socialism because of any avowed purpose of the latter to improve conditions; nor again because Socialism offers . to criticise existing industrial institutions. In social re form, as In sanitary reform, there Is do better method than to let In light and air; and if Socialism has succeeded in bringing to light any festering sores in the present industrial organ Ism, it Is to be commended, not con demned for it. The Catholic Church is opposed by Socialism because Socialism as an in ternational popular movement Is ram pantly irreligious, and the Catholic Church is rightly recognized by So cialism as the only international bul wark of religious conviction. The Catholic Church opposes Socialism be cause Socialism as an international movement has for its philosophic basis pure materialism; for Its religions basis the negation of Divine Provi dence and for its ethical basis the de nial of moral responsibility. These are the vaunted principles of Socialism pro claimed in season and out of season by ita accredited writera. and popular orators. They may be read in the classics of Socialism from Marx and Engels to Haywood, and are ex pounded with varying violence by street speakers from Vienna to Port land. If en-Religions Attitude Cited. "Socialism proclaims that man's life nda with the grave; consequently his temporal welfare is his chief and only concern. Christianity bids man seek first the kingdom of God, and teaches blm that temporal misfortune may be turned to spiritual profit. Such lan guage has no meaning for the Socialist. It has been pointed out that capitalism and Socialism are agreed In philosophic principle: 'That their only quarrel is over the bone upon which Is the meat that perlsheth.' In so far as this Is true, both are antl-Chrlstlan. "Socialism blasphemes God and in dulges In the most Indecent language concerning Christ. If anly Socialist is indignant at this charge, let him vent his indignation on the scurrilous writ ers and soap-box orators who revel In very vile and blasphemous vulgarity. "Socialism denies moral responsibil ity and thus undermines the basis and possibility of morality. The doctrine of determinism Is written on every page of Socialist literature. If there is no responsibility there is no sin, and every form of license Is Justified. Blatchford, a prolific Socialist writer of high re pute, puts the argument thus In his book, "Not Guilty": A tramp has mur dered a child upon the highway, has robbed her of a few coppers and has thrown her body Into a ditch. Do you mean to say he is not to blame? Do you mean to say he Is not to be pun ished? Yes, I say these things; and if these things are not true this book Is not worth the paper on which It Is written.' What comment is needed? Wealthy Are Blamed. "Christianity is opposed to Socialism, not because some Socialists have violat ed family ties and have outraged mor alityfor professing Christians have also done these things but Christian ity is irrevocably opposed to Socialism because Socialism is committed on principle to th dental of moral re sponsibility. 'It leave morality not a peg to stand on. "Socialists proclaim their disregard for the laws of the country. The church teaches unswerving obedience to Just laws and legitimately constituted authority as absolutely necessary to National peace and prosperity. 'The growth of Socialism is largely due to the fact that the representa tives of capital have adopted the same philosophy as Socialism, namely, that material prosperity is the only object in life. If the captains of Industry will show no compassion for their laborers, but coin the life blood of men, and the shame of tolling women and the hope in children's eyes into dollars for their vaults, let them not be astonished if the genius of their own philosophy arises from their coffers and strangles them alL "What is needed is the introduction of social Justice and Christian charity Into the relations of employers and em- ployes. This Is the only remedy for either Socialism or capitalism." SHIPPING AGENT RETURNS Charles W. Stinger Tells' of Methods In Tse Elsewhere. , Charles W. Stinger, who has rep resented the 0.-W. R.

At the Louisiana port be watched the loading of vessels with wheat and cotton by negroes on the levee and considers the system antiquated in com parison with Portland, but unique in its details, as the men sing at their work and are so ignorant that colors are used to designate where the truck loads are to be dumped, and when the colors are exhausted the truckmen are directed by the number of taps on their shoulders. At New York Mr. Stinger was the guest of the Passenger Agents' Asso ciation of that city, and dined on the Mauretania and others of the great trans-Atlantic steamships, having an opportunity to witness their methods of handling passengers and freight. "In New York there is a system that Is almost perfect," said Mr. Stinger. 'There Is no confusion.

"C. N. Rankin!" There was a solemn wait of many seconds, while In a silence broken only by a few subdued rustlings the great gathering seemed to wait in tense ex pectancy for an answer to the call. "Clang!" It was the mellow tolling of the funeral bell, and as Its sound died away the secretary called a second name. Dr. Taylor Gives Address.

J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO CO., Winston-Salem, N. C. A EW HOME MODERN First Methodist Congregation to Build. YOUNG FOLKS CONSIDERED It Is Planned to Make Church One of Finest in Northwest and Testimony to Growth of Denomination. With the meeting of the official board of the First Methodist Episcopal Church tonight, and a trustees' meet ing to be held In the near future, some Idea may be gained of the nature of the church that the congregation and the officials hope to erect. It Is understood that special provision will be made for the children and the young people, and also that every ef fort will be made to have the church second to none on the Coast, and an outstanding testimony to the great de nomination and to its rapid growth in Oregon. In one sense it is hoped to make the church an institutional one, to make It, in fact, a great workshop of Christian ity. The new church house of the First Presbyterian Church is an example of the spread of modern Ideas, for it con tains rooms for various classes, from the tiny children to the young men and young women, it has sewing rooms, as sembly rooms, an auditorium, an as sembly hall for banquets, with kitch en and serving room in the basement. But though connected with the church, this house is distinct. It will not be so In the new Methodist Church, for everything will be under one roof, and it will be on a larger and more elaborate scale, capable of handling more people. The question of fitting up a gym nasium will be considered, and the only reason that Is likely to prevent this being installed would be the desire not to compete with the local T. M. C. A. There will be club rooms for the boys and for the girls, reading, recreation, sewing and other social rooms, a ban queting hall, library and many other rooms, in addition to the officers' quar ters, and the main auditorium. A new church has been built recently in Seattle along modern ideas, but it Is situated downtown in a business block, and does not embrace all the proposals for this new First church In Portland, which, when finished, it Is confidently asserted, will be without a peer on the Coast. Dr. Benjamin Young, on more than one occasion, has praised the spirit that exists among the mem bers of the church to work hand, heart and soul with the trustees and the committee in making possible every suggestion that would endow this church with pre-eminence.
